This book takes place in 1996. Which I loved! We don’t see that very often! Harley is in Florence, Italy for three months to study art. Her professor is impressed by her technique, but not so much her paintings. Her perfectionism is affecting her ability to pain with emotion. Harley decides to have a night where she says “yes” to anything that comes her way to help her live a little.
Right away, she runs into Liam. Liam is the attractive brooding artist from her class who has been impressing the professor with all of his paintings. He says he is going to be Harley’s “yes guide” for the night. They have a great night together, and spend the rest of the summer together. They both have things that affect how they feel about relationships, and they have to learn to overcome those things. Harley has a rare birth defect that she is self conscious about, but Liam teaches her how to love that about herself. Liam is dealing with some grief and guilt about something that happened in his past. He has to learn to forgive himself as well as ask for forgiveness from others.
I absolutely loved that this book was set in Italy, and the feel of exploring a city while falling in love! It was the perfect summer read. I also really loved Harley’s relationship with her roommate Angela. They become great friends and Angela really helps her through some hard moments in her relationship with Liam. I felt like the book maybe wrapped up a little bit too quickly at the end. I wanted more! Other than that, it was a great read that I would highly recommend!
